Santa Ana.


Santa Ana.
ELECTRIC BELLS.
The Brunswick is thoroughly fitted
with electric call bells and such ap-
purtenances, of the most modern and
best approved patterns and styles.
This part of the work was done by
Mr.. L. T. Clemans, of 104 Fifth street,
near Spring. Here as in all other
respects, the idea was to get the best
work done by the most expert artisan
in the line. The entire system at the
Brunswick works to absolute perfec-
ton. Mr.. Cemans is too well known
here to need putting. He stands on
the work he has done and its merits:
All the big hotels in this city and
throughout the country have employed
him to do their work. He has score
of big houses here in the city to
which he can we'll point with pride, so
excellent are the results reached
| in all cases. In the country he has
hotels at all points where his
appliances work to as absolute perfec-
ton. No one builds hotel or other
large edifce without seeing Mr.. Glenn
ans in regard in the electric work to
be done in it. The Belmont, the
Marlborough, in this city; and the
Long Beach, South Riverside, Azusa,
and Brunswick in the county are all
his handy-work.
THE FURNISHING.
This part of the enterprise has cost
Mr.. Ward nearly $40, 900 in cold coin.
1 .e,h hor rIlxr to fhn
vices of the Los Angeles Furniture
Company were sought to do this work.
This house has made for itself so
enyiable name in the community for
fair dealing, enterprise in carrying a
very large stock, taste in the selection
of the newest and most artistic de-
signs, that no one would think of
furnishing such house as the Bruns-
wick, or from that to a cottage with
out paying visit to the gigantic
establishment on Main street. For
the Brunswick the goods were all
shipped direct from the factories at
the East, and set up from the cars at
Santa Ana. One may begin at the
beautiful tile pattern linoleum in the
office, and one source Of wonder after
another is encountered until the last
room in the third story is reached.
On the stairs and halls are pieces of
the very best Bigelow body Brussels
known to the trade. 1t is the very
same in texture and pattern as that
in the far-famed Hotel Del Monte at
Monterey before that great caravan
sary was burned. In the parlors and
bridal chambers are moquets of the
most lovely patterns and shades, and
so thick one sinks to the shoe-tops in
the soft, warm fabrics. The chairs in
the parlor, of richly carved rosewood,
upholstered in the finest materials
and in the world-renowned Louvre
patterns, are q constant provoca-
ton to take ones ease, SO lux
urious are they in each fea-
ture. The bed-chambers are all
fitted up most comfortably, and at the
same time so elegantly that no metro
politan holstery in the land can boast
anything more attractive. The bridal
chamber is marvelously handsome in
all its appointments, and the least
magnificent sleeping apartment in the
Brunswick is furnished with every at
tention to the comfort of the occupant.
The beds all through the hotel are
fitted up with most sensible consid-
Grafton as to their purpose. There is
hair mattress on each bed, which
would charm any man to sleep. Mr..
Nimmock, of the Los Angeles Furnit-
ure Company, personally supervised
the furnishing of the hotel, and we'll
may he take pride in the results. By
a pleasant coincidence, Mr.. J. S.
Cooley, of Grand Rapids, and con-
nected with one of the great factories
which supply the Los Angeles Furnit-
ure Company, was present to see the
perfectly artistic results of this furnish
ing of the Brunswick. After viewing
this charmingly fitted hotel one ceases
to be surprised that the Los Angeles
Furniture Company is called upon
when caravansary is to be fitted up.
THE OPENING.
Oh, yes; I was to say something
about the opening l almost forgot
that. Well, this part of the thing
began in the dining room. The tables
groaned beneath the weight of things
edible and potable. That is a little
threadbare in expression so l will vary
it. The supplies for the new hotel all
came from H. Jevne, the Los Angeles
fancy grocer on Spring street. 1t is no
matter what the number is. No one
knows Jevne's number, but all the
city, and nearly all the country knows
the place. They go there SO often
that they do not need the number.
1t is north of First street. Go along
the street and the display of
delicacies in the window will attrack
your eye. You cannot pass. Jevne
sold the goods, old Consello, the best
chef in Los Angeles, cooked the sup
per, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ward were
masters of ceremonies. After that
if any one doubts we got enough to
eat, that the ingredients were not the
choisest tidbits known to the gurmets,
or that it was not properly put together
that fellow dosent know anything.
Jevne's fancy store and Wards lib
eral hand did the business.
WHO WAS THERE.
Messrs. Baker & Cowley of the Long
Beach hotel came up in six-in-hand
coach, twenty miles. to the house.
warming, and they danced with the
girls all night. If you think there
were not "fair women and brave men"
